2. Overview of ECO 4 Scheme

The ECO 4 scheme is a UK government initiative aimed at improving the energy efficiency of domestic properties across Great Britain. It targets low-income and vulnerable households by funding measures such as insulation, efficient heating systems, and renewable energy solutions.

FreeHouseKit.co.uk assists homeowners and tenants in exploring potential eligibility and connects them with certified professionals to deliver funded measures. We are not an energy supplier, government body, or grant issuer—we serve as an intermediary and facilitator.

Eligibility for ECO 4 is determined by factors including (but not limited to):

•Receipt of qualifying benefits (e.g., Universal Credit, Child Tax Credit, Pension Credit).

4. Role of FreeHouseKit.co.uk

We act solely as a facilitator, providing the following:

5. Third-Party Installers and Partners

We collaborate with a network of vetted, government-accredited installers and assessors. Any agreements, contracts, or obligations that arise from your engagement with a third-party provider are strictly between you and that provider.

While we make reasonable efforts to refer reputable professionals, we are not liable for:

•The performance, timing, or quality of services provided by third parties.

•Any disputes, damages, or contractual issues between you and an installer.

•Cancellations, changes, or denials made by grant authorities or funding suppliers.

We recommend you review all terms, contracts, and credentials provided by third parties before agreeing to work.

⸻

6. No Guarantee of Outcome

Accessing our website or submitting an application does not:

•Guarantee ECO 4 grant approval.

•Ensure the installation of a specific product or measure.

•Bind us to provide any service beyond our stated scope.

All decisions relating to grant approval, property suitability, and installation logistics are made by the relevant energy supplier, funding body, or accredited installer, not FreeHouseKit.co.uk.
